How to get rid of [Circular *1]

Hi yall I am making a command that has to check whether the person that runs it has a certain role, and if they do, they continue. The problem arises with getting the roles, for some reason it says cirular instead of the information that is supposed to show up.

Consider using the documentation instead of console logging

d.js docs•3w ago

:property: GuildMember#roles discord.js@14.22.1 A manager for the roles belonging to this member

TÆMBØØ•3w ago

What you're describing are circular references

Definitely Not A DolphinOP•3w ago

I did that I realised my mistake But still why does it say [Circular *2] and not just the data that is store in the manager

TÆMBØØ•3w ago

:IRT_This: It's referencing its parent class instance, so it's not wise to be logging the same data that'll get you stuck in an infinite loop of nested objects. You can also visualize this by logging guild.members.guild.members.guild.members.guild - it references itself infinitely

Definitely Not A DolphinOP•3w ago

okay okay i get that wait roles: RoleManager { guild: [Circular *2] }, why does that say circular when roles is supposed to be RoleManager and not the guild itself

monbrey•3w ago

It is the role manager Which has a guild property Which is circular

Definitely Not A DolphinOP•3w ago

and what about the rest of its properties? with the actual roles n stuff

d.js docs•3w ago

:class: RoleManager discord.js@14.22.1 Manages API methods for roles and stores their cache.

Definitely Not A DolphinOP•3w ago

or am I just looking at the wrong location I just did some testing and it should have other properties because message.guild?.roles.highest.id does return a string, so why does it not say that for example highest is also a property i feel like i am going insane

TÆMBØØ•3w ago

:IRT_This:

Definitely Not A DolphinOP•3w ago

I AM

TÆMBØØ•3w ago

Then what's telling you that highest is not a property?

Definitely Not A DolphinOP•3w ago

this very very very stupid line in the json that is returned roles: RoleManager { guild: [Circular *2] }, why doesnt it show the other properties

TÆMBØØ•3w ago

Because they are not enumerable RoleManager#highest is not a "property" per se, but a getter

monbrey•3w ago

Please use documentation instead of console.logging

TÆMBØØ•3w ago

This is the exact reason we suggest using the docs instead, because the docs show you what actually exists and doesn't exist, whereas console logs do not give the full picture

Definitely Not A DolphinOP•3w ago

I am, I already had it open before I opened the question okay thank you a lot sincerely I thought the entire point of console logging was to show all the data there was but apparently it just skips some i didnt know that getter meaning a function that returns the value?

TÆMBØØ•3w ago

Sort of - a function disguised as a property

Definitely Not A DolphinOP•3w ago

it does show up under the properties - a thanks

d.js docs•3w ago

:mdn: get The get syntax binds an object property to a function that will be called when that property is looked up. It can also be used in classes.

Definitely Not A DolphinOP•3w ago

okay I get it all now thanks a lot
